Geocache Description:



Named after one of Newtownards's most famous sons, Lieutenant Colonel Blair Mayne, this cache will bring you to the grounds of Ards Blair Mayne Wellbeing and Leisure Complex.

The posted co-ordinates are for the Wildflower Area in the grounds where you will find an information board which you will need to study carefully.

Reverse Wherigo

To start this adventure, first you will need to download the Reverse Wherigo Cartridge on to your smartphone or GPS, if compatible. An app will be required to find this cache. We use Wherigo for iPhone. We understand that other apps, such as WhereYouGo are available for android phones.

Reverse Wherigo Box.

This Wherigo allows you to search for the cache using only distance clues (no directions). The first Reverse Wherigo GC357G1 was created by Waldmeister. The basic idea is to find the final while being given only your distance to it. To get the current distance, you can ask the Reverse Cache Box in your inventory, but it won't tell you the direction - that's for you to figure out! There's no limit to how many times you can ask, but try to keep your number of guesses as low as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge are provided in the cartridge itself, which is multilingual.

When prompted you will have to type a three six-digit initiation code into your Wherigo player.

Study the information board carefully at the posted coordinates which you will use to obtain letters as follows:-

A = Total number of white dots on the ladybird/ladybug

B = Total number of insect images on the information board

C = Total number of steps there are to help biodiversity 

D = Total number of photos of featured flowers / pollinators

E = Total of letters in the second word of the 'Meadow' wildflower 

F = Total number of wheelbarrow images on the information board

Now replace the letters below to obtain the required three six-digit numbers.
